One thing which I have noticed at PLO 5 micro stakes is, that people 4 bet and 5 bet, and you can be 1000% sure that they have AA, and it does not matter which AA they have...
So here is a Hand which I have played...
Now my Question is:
- Was my Pot bet in BB to loose?
- And then calling the Raise from BB Pre Flop- was this ok? Or should this be a fold?
- I think on the flop it should be better a check/ raise?

I like the check/raise but with this type of opponent, it is likely that any line would have the same result I think
I'm eager to hear what the experts think
Check rise will be really nice, if you know that opponent will rerise you with AA on the low board its OK.
I think you will be more loosing with this type of hands.
You have DS - if you hit flush you can loose again better flush.
You have "low" rundown, you can loose vs TJQK on the board like 89T.
You can really win good only on this board what you got.

Thanks for the input. Yeah, it was a good board for me, but as I saw this player already a couple of times. I almost could bet that he will have AA pre...
Preflop don't squeeze. You have close to 0 fold equity and that hand sucks in multiway (3+ players). In multiway 3bet game, the key to make money is domination. No one outplays anyone postflop, it's just about who hits the flop and how. If you are the one with higher draws, higher made hands, you make money in the long run. That hand has domination issues written all over it. Just call pre.
Postflop at PLO5, c-raise every day. Average player bets AA and stacks off on almost any board.

Thank you Kyyberi...Appreciate you taking the time to write..
By the way, what is all the Talk about PLO 5... I just started with PLO... now it feels like that someone should better learn PLO 5...??
PLO5 just refers to stake played. Buyin (100bb) being 5$ in this case. There is also 5 card PLO and I suppose even 6 card one but I would imagine its best to stay on 4 card version at beginning.
But yeah when SB calls I would just call preflop. WIthout cold calls 3betting is fine and these sort of rundowns do play nice versus 4bets so we are not folding once 3betting. Flop it doesnt matter versus AAxx whatever we donk bet or check as it will be allin anyway with very low SPR. But if villain does happen to have like some AKJT hand he might fold to bet but decide to cbet himself.

An exception is PLO8 which refers to Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo split, which is what I normally play.
So if you see PLO8 5 that means PLO8 at $0.02/$0.05 stakes
All the best,
